Before sending a PM to me, please read the following. I do appreciate the PM's I get, but the mentions below are frequently common inquiries, so I figured this would be a good way to save all of us some time;

-All inquiries about the next part of my Ketsueki Series, as well as the final part... which includes story plot, characters, etc., will be ignored as of August 15, 2014. Know that the cast is now 100% set and the basic plot is officially planned out. For current character roster (which will be slowly revealed throughout the coming months), refer to the website link I provided below in my profile. As for 'release date,' I will be making that announcement before 2014 is over.

-I made the decision to cancel 'The Path of Fate' due to my own lack of interest. That is the only reason I can offer. Besides, the story pretty much follows the first timeline of the games up to the events of MK Armageddon. That right there should tell you the entire story in a nutshell.

-I cannot guarantee that I can start a new project at the time I said I would start it. This may be due to change of interest, lack of interest, not having enough time at the moment, etc. The timing that I give is nothing more than an estimate, and I will let you know through this profile whether or not that will change.

-I've recently decided to just edit 'Her Protector' rather than do a whole new story re-write mainly to save time. I'll do the editing process whenever I get the chance to. Also, there will be no additional characters added to the story.

ABOUT ME

My name is Jami. You can also call me J, iceangelmkx, ice, icey, whatever floats your boat. I've been with fanfiction.net since September 2002, which is a pretty long time. A majority of my stories are based around my favorite video games as well as a couple of TV shows. I've always been fascinated with adding my own ideas to existing fandoms and exploring potential story lines. What better place to do that than here?

I primarily write for the Mortal Kombat and Mass Effect fandom these days. I try to update each story about 2-4 times a month, but it depends on how much my real life rears it ugly head and whether or not I'm hit with writer's block. I've also finally started writing my first novel, though that's been a very, very slow process.

Things To Know (Fanfiction)

IMPORTANT: When reading my older stuff, keep these in mind; 1) Especially for fics written between 2002-2006 (this includes 'Chishio No Me'), it was all still a learning process for me. This includes my writing style, characterization, story telling, romance stories, etc. 2) Look at the dates the fics were written before making certain comments. For example, why isn't a certain character in this fic? Look at the publish date... did said character exist then? 3) If something new was revealed about a character, DON'T CORRECT ME ON IT in a fic that was written BEFORE it was known!

Yes, some of my fics (not even half of them, by the way) contain OC's, most notably in my Ketsueki Series. As of this writing, I only have three active OC's; Scott K. Wagner (created in 2002), Alex Walker (created in 2003), and Matrik (created in 2004, but didn't debut until 2005). The best thing I can 'warn' you now is, especially with Wagner and Alex, that yes, they are paired with Canon characters at some point or another. And believe it not, them being paired is NOT what they were created for, and they surely don't exist just to stand around and look pretty. They actually do things and, once in a wild blue moon, move a plot along. They also serve as good practice for when I write original fiction (in other words, I didn't 'just make them up' for nothing). I am also fully aware that not everyone likes OC's, so that's why I'm telling you this. If you don't mind reading about my OC's in the fics, awesome. If not, that's fine, no hard feelings, but seriously, if you REALLY hate OC's in existing fandoms, then my fics with OC's are not for you, simple as that.

Unfortunately, I'm not available to beta read anyone's work. With the way my own life is going right now, the last thing I want to do is take my sweet time trying to look over your work. I understand that you would rather have your work posted within a few days than, say, three months later, so it's more for the writer's sake than my own.

I'm not seeking out a beta reader for my own work, but you are more than welcome to PM me if you are interested in looking over occasional grammar errors that I tend to miss. I also appreciate any spelling or grammar errors I may have missed in my own fics in reviews (as long as you're not being an asshole about it). I only ask that you disregard my first two stories. They're beyond help.

Want to learn the most important lesson about how to NOT write a Mary Sue? Read Street Fighter II V: Resurrection.

I'm mostly open minded with it comes to romance shippings, especially ones written in a way that makes it work. Canon, non-canon, crossover pairings, yaoi and yuri pairings, and I even accept Canon/OC pairings if it's done right.

I like Alternate Universe/Storyline stories. It provides fresh, new ideas and makes you think, for example, 'what if my favorite character got involved in that instead of the usual?'

Action scenes are fun to write, but I find that my best involves dialogue.

Want to see an evolution in my writings? First, read ONLY the first chapter (Prologue: The Katana) of 'Living in Darkness.' (2003) Then, when you're done, go read my one-shot story, 'The Call of Sento' (2014)

If there is something I wrote and you find yourself questioning it, please try to be patient. You'll most likely get your answers later on, or even in the sequel. I have a reason for everything I write (especially in my newer fics). Feel free to wonder in your review (because I do love reviews that speculate), but don't be immature about it.

Random Facts About Me... Just Because.

Martial Status: Taken. I've been with the same boyfriend since July 2004. =)

Favorite Bands: Disturbed, Lifehouse, 3 Doors down, Five Finger Death Punch, Before the Dawn, Killswitch Engage, Breaking Benjamin, Godsmack, and more. I also have a guilty pleasure for 80's music and Joey McIntyre.

The Outworld (Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat) - Okay, I'm going to be honest... this fic... it's Godawful. I mean, wow, I can't believe how I got away with such a story! I had only recently got back into video games and was still learning the storylines at the time, and well... I screwed up on a lot of things, and some of the plotlines didn't make sense at all. I'm not sure why people loved this fic at the time, but the reason I've kept it up here was because it was the first story that got me 100 reviews, and it was also the first story that gave me the confidence to write more fanfics. So, even though this fic is as awful as sin, it still holds a special spot. On a small note, if anyone was wondering why Kenshi's not in the story, that's because I didn't know who he was when the fic began. =P

Street Fighter II V: Resurrection (Street Fighter) - Written as a sequel to the awesome anime series. Then I thought, 'Hey, it'd be so cool if I had my own characters in it!' Three OC's plus a borrowed character were added... big mistake. Let's just say that, through this story, I learned exactly what a Mary Sue is. The two girls I created were failures. However, the reason I kept this story here was because this was Wagner's debut fic, and of all the OC's, he was the one who was very well received.

The Hero of Metro City (Street Fighter) - Since Guy was one of my favorites in Street Fighter, I wanted to write a story centered around him. The first chapter was written randomly during my creative writing class, the Christmas theme made due to how close the holidays were at the time I wrote it. Aside from tense errors, this was the first story I wrote where I felt mostly satisfied with. My one regret is adding the character Greg, which was definitely random and out of place now that I think about it. However, he was eventually replaced by Kyle, Cody's brother who appears in Final Fight: Streetwise.

A Trigun Christmas Carol (Trigun) - A parody, obviously based on Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol,' taking place in the Trigun universe. Originally, the story was only available on my website due to it being script format. It was available here, but due to the format, the site removed it. However, in 2011, I took the time to change it to regular story format. Now it is finally available on this site after eight years and just in time for Christmas.

Living in Darkness (Mortal Kombat) - My first Mortal Kombat story, which combines the main storyline of MK Deadly Alliance and specific character endings. I highly believe, as far as I know, that this is the first Kenshi-centric fanfic in existence since he debuted in Deadly Alliance. I also attempted another OC after my failed attempted with 'Street Fighter II V: Resurrection.' Though not as popular as Wagner, Alex was well-received. Aside from Chishio No Me, this was my favorite story to write.

The Life Flashing Before My Eyes (Trigun) - The thoughts of Wolfwood as death awaits him. Not much more to say about it, though this was the last Trigun fic I wrote.

Air Force Legacy (Street Fighter) - My only OC-focused fic featuring Wagner. This was supposed to serve as one one two sequels to Street Fighter II V: Resurrection, but naturally, one was cancelled. However, this story can be read as a stand-alone, so no need to read it's prequel (trust me, it's for the best). Written more for fun than anything else, but I do not plan to write a story like this again.

Her Protector (Mortal Kombat) - An MK Alternate Universe inspired by a friend's forum signature. Decided to experiment with an unlikely couple, Kenshi and Kitana. My regret is getting lazy after chapter 13. Initially, I was going to work on a rewrite, but considering how pleased I was with the first half of the story for the most part, I don't think a full re-write is all that necessary.

Sub Zero's Answering Machine (Mortal Kombat) - Based on a Vampire Hunter D fanfic, just me bringing a random fic to the MK section. It's my most well-received one-shot. Although follow-ups were requested (and still are to this day apparently), I do not plan to write any more.

I'll Always Be With You (Street Fighter) - A one-shot story. I originally planned to write this full-length, but it became what it is during a writing slump I was having at the time.

The Ketsueki Quadrilogy: Chishio No Me (Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat/Tekken/Soulcalibur) - My first crossover with more than two games. Originally intended to be just Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, but the other two ended up being added. This was intended as a bit of a rewrite of 'The Outworld' since I did not write that's story sequel (recently finding old notes for it... thank God for that!). With such an epic-like story, I decided to push to my limit plotwise here, trying out some things never been done and experiment with some rumored speculations and dream fights. Currently, it's my most popular fanfic.

Under The Purple Sky (Bonanza) - My first Bonanza story based on the Trigun episode, "Love and Peace."

The Forsaken (Bonanza) - A Bonanza story written for Halloween.

The Scent of Leather and Bay Rum (Bonanza) - A Bonanza story written for a forum challenge. My most popular Bonanza fic based on reviews from other websites.

Sharing is Caring (Mass Effect) - This was a one-shot that was written for a prompt on the Mass Effect LiveJournal Kink Meme. It was really more of a writing exercise for me as well (especially since it only took me a half hour to type out). I'll say one thing... I never thought I'd write a Mass Effect story that focused on Grunt and Jack. Still, it was fun to write.

What is a Soulmate? (Mass Effect) - I wanted to write a one-shot story to commemorate my 11-year anniversary on this site. The inspiration for this story was from a small comic on Deviantart by an artist named Oliveretta. She gave me permission to write the story and I ended up releasing it one day earlier than I intended. I definitely recommend checking out the artwork, which is called 'Soulmate,' hence the title inspiration.

The Ketsueki Quadrilogy: Ano Sentaku Bou (Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat/Tekken/Soulcalibur) - The follow-up to 'Chishio No Me.' I've attempted sequels to other stories before, but this was the very first time that I actually completed a story sequel! This is also my longest story to date as well as the story that took me the longest to complete (six years and three months) mainly because I got hit with 3 years worth of writer's block. Originally, this was going to be the final part of my series, but I've since planned two more sequels.

The Call of Sento (Mortal Kombat) - This one-shot story was actually written in 2011 as part of the now-cancelled story, 'The Path of Fate.' Initially planned as part of two introductions in one chapter, I found myself writing this out in not only one sitting, but it took 14 pages to cover. This story has truly shown me how much I've improved in the art of writing in the past decade, especially when compared to my earlier stories. After deciding to cancel 'The Path of Fate,' the last thing I wanted was for this chapter to go to complete waste so... I decided to re-release it as a one-shot story.

Street Fighter Teenz - This will be removed once I have more that twenty completed stories in my profile.

FUTURE STORIES:

The Ketsueki Quadrilogy: Majin Seiryu Ki - The 3rd installment to my series. Currently being heavily planned. - To debut on March 3, 2015! Get ready for a new tournament and tag teams!

The Ketsueki Quadrilogy: Part 4 (Currently Untitled) - The 4th and final installment to my series.

Untitled Living In Darkness Reboot - This story is for those who have enjoyed my Kenshi-centric fic, Living In Darkness. It's not a sequel. It will actually take place in the second MK timeline and will probably be darker compared to it's predecessor. Will not even begin plot planning until after we finally get MKX in our hands. NOTE: I'm not sure if this fic will happen. However, if the desire comes to me, there's a good chance that this story will be posted exclusively on my DeviantArt page (under the same screen name). We'll see.

Untitled Kenshi Origin Story - Well, actually, it does have an official title, but since someone actually ripped off both title and summary last time (fic is no longer up, but it was the reason I pulled the future stories list off of here to begin with), I'm withholding it from here for now. As it says, the fic will involve a more fully detailed life-story of the swordsman Kenshi. This was a project I've wanted to do for some time, and hopefully, I'll begin this project after we get MKX in our hands.

I do have a few Mass Effect stories in mind, but for now, I will withhold them from this page.

I am more than happy to accept any constructive feedback when needed. However, flames will be given to Havik, who will mock and laugh at them before using them to roast tasty marshmallows!
